Pulse Fitness - best hours for not being crowded

[tashaaa]

Hi, 

 

we will be on Star in 5 days (yeah😀), will try to go to the gym on our cruise. 
 

all experience cruisers who were on star, when is the best time to go to the fitness, that there are not so many people… 

 

It opens at 6.00 in the morning, so maybe at 7.00?

Personal experience, I have never walked by the gym and saw more than a few people using it. That said, being awake at 6-7:00 am is beyond my comprehension.

99% of the time people ain't exercising on their cruises.  I run 2 miles every morning then ride a bike 15-20 miles 4 days a week and lift weights 2x a week.  Not sure I can go a week without exercising.  I'm mid 60's, my BP is 120/70, my heart rate is 58 and my BMI is 22.7.

Never been to Pulse on the Star, but have been on other NCL ships.  I go right when it opens at 6, get there even a few minutes early and there's usually a handful of people waiting.  I only go for 30 minutes but it's never been too crowded when I leave (like still <20 people).  I suppose it depends on what equipment you want to use.

thank you all for your responses 🙂

I guess we don't have to wake up sooo early.

Unusually, it was often packed on my last cruise on the Star (March), especially on the sea days - to the point that you couldn't get in. The afternoons of port days were very quiet, but still relatively busy in the first couple of hours.

 

But like everyone else, I've normally found the gyms empty on most cruises.
